Lossless #1(en)

In "Lossless No. 1," Baron and Goodwin attempt to visualize the difference between film and digital video by isolating a particularly powerful sequence of 48 frames from "The Wizard of Oz," scanned from a 35mm film print, but also extracted from a DVD release of the film. The artists then digitally subtracted the DVD frames from the scanned film frames, leaving an image that reveals the difference between the analog and digital formats. The result is 31 seconds of Dorothy's ruby slippers clicking together, over and over, the shoes, her legs, and her dress a shimmering beacon, an immortal moment of intense wishing.

Salut !(fr)

Based on an article by journalist Rose-Aimée Automne T. Morin who questions our attitude on public transport in 2022, the film is an adaptation, in the form of a short film, of this social experiment. HI ! allows you to get inside the journalist's head. Is it normal to live so individualistically in this type of public transport? What if we gave ourselves the chance to reconnect with the humans around us...

Una canción para recordar(es)

This typical Mexican musical comedy was released at a time when two of its actresses, Ana Berta Lepe who appears in a few numbers and Evangelina Elizondo who is featured as a woman with problems in the romance department, were involved in serious, separate scandals. While these scandals may have promoted attendance at its opening, audiences will really respond the most to the songs in this film, everything from "St. Louis Blues" to "Tipi-Tipi-Tin." The songs outweigh the plot itself, and do much to alleviate the otherwise weak storyline.

The Shape of Now(es)

According to estimates around 200,000 people lost their lives in the 50-year Colombian civil war. Another 25,000 were kidnapped, many are still considered missing. When the peace deal between the government and the FARC rebels was made in November 2016, guns were banned from the conflict. But the country's population have since faced the almost impossible task of having to agree on a common past. "The Shape of Now" illuminates this strenuous process and thus Colombia's leaden present from very different perspectives.
